No wonder Donnie has seemed distracted. Must have known this was going to hit.

They are all white, they are all very rich, and they will all walk off scott-free…that is how the American system works. They can do whatever they want and whenever they want.

The end justifies the means…the Republican Party that serves the 1% won and so all else is a none issue.

Remember: The Democrats have no leadership, no plan, and no message. There is no alternative…Obama choked and lacked a spine and know he’s hob knobbing with billionaires and is a good little Republican…just like the Clinton’s.

Oh please, put a sock in it. Mueller has hired the A Team, people capable of following long and twisted ties. If nothing does come out of this investigation then the people will rise up. Will Bernie lead or just cheerlead?

Please, please, please let Don Jr. slip free of his lawyers so he can “clarify” the matter in his own words on tape.

Ummm, no. There have been several financial crimes, including money laundering, by Trump’s people. There will be indictments. If you think Mueller is doing all this for show, you are tripping. If there is nothing there, he would already have said so or he will end up looking like a complete imbecile, which he certainly is not. And if you think there is something there, but Muller is going to cover up for Trump, I would consider getting some therapy because you are paranoid. In fact, Muller just hired 3 more prosecutors yesterday. You think he is doing that because they are playing softball and need more players to field two teams?

Cases take time to build. It’s hard work. And he is getting the hardest workers. Lots of them.

No one is fooled by adding preambles to your usual “Dems are the only problem” schtick.

Bernie in in the Cincinnati area today whipping up support for single payer health care on Yertle’s turf.

Dems have run on GOP Xtian corruption for decades … and lose every time.

Meanwhile i am enjoying a brewski and watching grownups boxing at my local brew pub.

Enjoy your weekend everyone lol

Did you see Maggie Haberman trying to defend Bernie by implying that the entire investigation is due to hearsay reporting by one witness?
Um, right. I’m sure the FBI doesn’t have ANY financial reporting to go on.
Is Haberman the most overrated reporter in the last 100 years?
Ok, excluding Taibbi, I think it’s possible.

At least Taibbi can write. Haberman writes like Hucksterbee dresses.

Be nice. Sarah has owned all those dresses since they fit.

This is supposed to be the part of the United States government that not only represents the highest standards of performance and ethics as an example to everyone in the world, but also for defending everyone inside these borders from foreign intervention.

Hiding a meeting with Russia? As part of the security process??

Honest question: Can anyone think of a more blatant, obvious criminal conspiracy than this one? You’ve got Russian contacts boiling out of the air vents and swinging from the chandeliers, you’ve got on-the-record stuff about Russian money, you’ve got shady deals from Manhattan to Kazakhstan, you’ve got the motive, means, and opportunity, the quid and the quo, and even the things that are missing like the taxes and the oopsie-forgotten contacts so comprehensively and feloniously missing from the SF 86 docs tend to form a hole that spells out the words “We did it” like a stencil. Boss Tweed was pretty up-front about the corruption, and Al Capone, and the Duvaliers, I guess. But given the scope, consequences, and sheer thumb-suckingly dopey obviousness of it all, I just can’t think of a comparison.

Maybe that explains the emergency bathroom break where Ivanka sat in for him at the meeting.

The bush White House was bad and lied very similarly but they lacked the full blown collusion with the enemy.

I’ll rate them #1 and #2, with #1 starting to lap the field.

It take two parties to make government function as it should. We heard “No” for eight years on top of daily insults which President Obama handled gracefully. Now the Rs are finding out the hard way they can’t anything done with the cooperations of the Democrats. Don’t you dare insult the last decent president we had. P.S. You don’t need an apostrophe in “Clinton’s” especially when you intend only to insult them.

We probably haven’t even scratched the surface. Forensic accounting is time consuming. They are probably just getting started.
